Im trying to get a rough idea of what i need to do to get ever thing right. Already have some 1 inch conduit i can use for the wall of the house . Just ant sure what to use for the roof portion and where needs to have the conduit and type

My electrical inspector required me to put the lines going to the inverter from the modules in metal pipe. The lines connecting each module could be open wire though. You'll have to check with the inspection agency in your area to see what they require.
You also need a way to shut the modules down in case of a fire. My electric provider required me to give them a simple drawing showing the master shut off. It had to be in a location they could reach from outside the house. They also timed my power up after a grid power failure. In NY it has to be 5 minutes after the grid power returns before your system starts sending power out to the grid.
Things may be different in your area but checking might save you a lot of headaches down the road.
